Bitter With The Sweet

Sometimes I'm tired and I wonder
 What's so all-fired important
 About being some place at some time
 Oh, but I don't really mind
 'Cause I could be on Easy Street
 And I know that
 You've got to take the bitter with the sweet
 I guess it gets to everyone,
 You think you're not having fun
 And you wonder what you're doing
 Playing the games you play
 Hey, well, it's true what they say
 If you want to feel complete
 Don't you know that
 You've got to take the bitter with the sweet
 A friend of mine once told me
 And I know he knows all about feelin' down
 He said everything good in life
 You've got to pay for
 But feelin' good is what you're
 Paving the way for
 So, don't let it get you down, my friend
 Though it seems the blues will never end
 On this you can depend, they always do
 And I can tell you that it's true
 It's a feeling that can't be beat
 And you've got to do it
 You've got to take the bitter with the sweet
